I'm almost ashamed I thought of it, but on the commute into work I came up with an idea for a website that could probably make money very easily: a Peeing Calvin Generator.
Think about it: pick a Calvin style (boy, girl, cowboy, uh... a couple of others), upload a target image or type in a word or two (like "OSAMA", "MY EX", "MY BOSS", "THE RAIDERS", "SPOTTED OWLS", whatever) and boom: your peeing Calvin image is ready to go. Tie that in with some place like Cafe Press that can crank out stickers for people and you've got a license to print money, baby.
Sick, innit? But a good idea, nevertheless. And it doesn't appear such a site exists yet.
UPDATE: The domain peeingcalvin.com is even available. Man. I'm betting that Bill Waterson's lawyers would be calling rather quickly if someone were that blatant about it (registering a domain, setting up a web presence cranking them out, etc.). Still, it is tempting.
